Too many wraps according to most manufacturers. Only one and a half wraps for less than 1" pipe.

You make it look easy. Wish I were there to help. I’m in NYC looking to become a plumbers helper, it’s hard to find work. Wish me luck

I have a question if you don’t mind. How do you fit a 3/8 “ flare into a 3/8 FIP . I would think I would need a 3/8 FIP that has a flare inside of it.

sharkbite 😲

Thank you, straightforward and to the point with good tips!

Great video and I had a good laugh to your “not advised” tip for a flame check for leaks. No kidding. Geez, that’s crazy .

How do you take off a T Sharbite fittings when it's connected to other pipes that are connected to the tankless water heater and to the wall?. There's no "give".

Liked and sub’d for the safety of my supply lines.😂🤟

FYI:InSinkErator does make additional models. I just bought EVOLUTION 0.75 HP (3/4HP) Advanced Series. It has a 9 year warranty. It's super quiet and compact and I paid less for it than some of the lower end models.

Funny guy! I bought the orange thing and cannot get it to turn! I must be weak. Can a metal grinder be used?

I appreciate your video and I think the advice you give about not really using them for crazy amounts of pasta and potatoes is probably extremely good advice in general... HOWEVER I do have to disagree with you a little bit. Some of the higher end garbage disposal with 1HP, stainless steel, 9year warranty, extremely quiet with dual sound dampening and have multi stage grinding that can shread up chicken bones even to nearly dust. I've seen it in use and the contents flushed into a clear plastic container with ease. So while it's probably not the best piece of equipment to purchase, you absolutely CAN get monster disposal units that won't clog even with a ridiculous amount of food, just add a normal amount of water with it. Anyways, in general for most units your advice still applies... but there are certainly exceptions.

Had an old skool technician install my new furnace. Used a lighter to test it while I was standing next to him. I was a little nervous. I did assume he didn't want to blow himself up right there in my basement though, so thought it must be at least a little safe 🤣

so good, thank you very much. I appreciate your expertise!

Thank you!

Do I have to turn off the heater, and close the gas valve?

You have been working hard you should take a breather

I guarantee the hose was on right and not cross threaded. But for whatever reason I was installing a glacier bay faucet today and it appeared to be leaking from the faucet body. Ive installed mostly Delta as a diyer at home and at work. Never had one leak before. Maybe I over tightend the one today. I think im going to get a Delta.

Thank you for your honest review and the tips for use. Always glad to see an actual plumber give their perspective instead of diy plumbers!

Video was very helpful thank you from 2025

Dude, are you okay? You sound like a dying Darth Vader.

I prefer sweating cuz sometimes you can’t get the pro press gun in tight spots. I’m fine with both just my preference

A plumbing apprentice can ProPress copper on the first day. Real plumbers sweat copper

do we change the anode on every tank clean?

Tons of knowledge. Thanks you

Can the iron pipe go into the aluminum ore other metal in furnace and should the sealer be used there or should Teflon tape be used? Thank you for your video

My drain has never clogged… I throw EVERYTHING down the drain

Thanks buddy!

Can't for the life of me find a decent nut for the chrome bullnose. I tried a plastic one and it immediately broke with little effort.

Thank you!

Excellent video reminding us DIY'ers of the basics and safety aspects. Thank you

Great video

Fu*k sharkbite fittings and pipes!!! They are the worse thing to insert and remove!!!!! 🤮🤮🤮😤😤😤

the plastic ferrule....the two times you say to put the tapered end into the fitting you do not show it. This is quite an informative and helpful video but I'm a 'need to see it' kinda guy. Thanks!

I respect contractors work on their craft. However, youtube and google algorithm I beg to differ.

I have a question I hope you can answer.I bought the shortest faucet supply line I could find & didn’t realize it was 1/2” by 1/2” instead of 3/8”.I couldn’t find & I don’t think a shut off valve comes with a 1/2” male outlet anywhere so my question is what size adapter/Reducer would I need to go from the 1/2” female side of the supply line to the 3/8” standard male of the supply line.I will assume the supply line female side would be 1/2” male because I found 2 on Amazon & the 1/2” male fits but I can’t find the correct size female side to go to the 3/8” side of a standard shut off valve.I purchased 1/2” male to the 1/2” female of the supply line & it fits but when I go 3/8” female to the 3/8” of the shut off valve it’s too large.What would be the correct size female side to attach to the 3/8” of the shut off valve??

Thank you. It worked for me.

I wonder if mine in my flat needs tightning up a bit. It's hone green there by a bit of the join but not from any of the stuff u used. Wr dobt feel well either. I best ring council gey a test done .. wish I had guts to tighten ut but I don't lol

Hey Tony, you're not alone, I did the same thing. OhhhHHHHHHh the pain, the pain, the agonyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was just like Bugs Bunny used to say.

How can a (sort of) handyman who replaced the most foolproof lines before could not seal properly the line on my toilet? The leak appeared to come from the plastic shank of the toilet, not the valve. Thanks in advance.

If I have a pin hole leak in an existing basement line and I cut the line with a pipe cutter, is there a specific gap I must leave between the two pieces to be joined with the fitting?

When dealing with threaded elbows, how do you control the angle after the fitting is tight? Is it typically safe to go up to one more full turn until you’re at the angle you want?

Can you get me a website of any online plumbing schools please

Greate Sir

My water faucet failed on a Saturday. Still can't get a plumber for the following week! No shutoff valve so house water turned off. Plumber contact recommended them to me. I don't want to buy special tools for one-off but I will buy a pex cutter. Cheaper and faster than plumber visit.

Do they make pex drain pipe? I hate abs

You said to check if it’s crimped right make sure it doesn’t turn. Aren’t you supposed to able to turn pex?

Can you get replacement rubber gaskets for the stainless hoses? Mine keeps leaking, looks like the little rubber oring is bad.

gracias

This won’t help with hard warer
